This map of the region, accompanying the article “Indochina Faces the Dragon,” not only
includes an inset map of Korea with the battle line noted as of July of that year, but also
principal railroads, roads, canals, and airports; oil fields and pipelines, and the Great Wall
its ruins. A masterpiece of modern cartography 6 years after WWII ended.
